The 12 pages that link to Theodor Boveri, each with the reason it gives.

• Model organismRelated: His experiments with sea urchins showed how chromosome composition affects development.

• AneuploidyRelated: His sea-urchin studies helped establish the biological significance of chromosome number.

• Thomas Hunt MorganRelated: Boveri independently developed a chromosome-based account of heredity that Morgan’s work supported.

• Chromosome theory of inheritanceRelated: Boveri’s work supported the idea that distinct chromosomes have distinct hereditary roles.

• Cancer researchRelated: His hypothesis anticipated research connecting chromosomal abnormalities with malignancy.

• CentrosomeRelated: His experiments linked centrosomes and orderly chromosome distribution in cell division.

• Hans SpemannRelated: Boveri’s work on embryonic cells and nuclei formed part of the experimental context for Spemann’s research.

• Boveri–Sutton chromosome theoryRelated: His independent evidence that chromosomes are distinct and functionally significant complemented Sutton’s argument.

• Albrecht KosselRelated: Boveri’s chromosome research gave biological significance to the nuclear material Kossel studied chemically.

• Nettie StevensRelated: His chromosome theory supplied a framework for interpreting Stevens’s observations.

• Johannes FibigerRelated: Boveri offered a competing account of cancer’s origins while Fibiger argued for a parasitic cause.

• Strongylocentrotus purpuratusRelated: Boveri used sea urchin embryos in influential experiments on chromosomes and development.
